The Cleveland Browns are lucky to have a player like Nick Chubb.
Not many players would’ve agreed to restructure their contract and take a pay cut, especially not in today’s player empowerment era.
It’s getting more and more common to see players holding out or even requesting trades when things like this happen, but Chubb clearly had the team’s best interest first and foremost.
That’s why former NFL player Ross Tucker tipped his hat to him, but he wanted to put an interesting opinion out there as well.
In the latest edition of his podcast, Tucker claimed that he didn’t blame the Browns for making that request or Chubb for taking a pay cut; he just wants everybody to remember this whenever another player decides to hold out or puts their family and their financial security first and foremost.

Chubb agreed to earn back his money with incentives, which makes people think that he’s going to be back out there on the field right for the start of the season.
He’s a fan favorite and a vocal leader in the locker room.
Some speculated that the Browns could look to move on from him in the offseason, as running backs tend to fall from grace faster than other players, and he’s coming off a major injury.
Nonetheless, that could’ve backfired big time for the front office, as Chubb has earned the benefit of the doubt from this organization.
Hopefully, he’s going to be as good as ever, and will spend his entire career with the Browns.
